우리나라는 이미 고령시대에 접어들어 어느 때보다 은퇴 이후의 삶이 중요하게 되었다. 본 연구의 목적은 그동안 은퇴준비와 관련하여 연구되지 않았던 현 직장에서의 직무만족도와의 관련성을 규명하고, 이들 관계에서 노후생활인식이 매개변수로 작용 하여 직무만족도에 영향을 미치는 구조를 검증하고자 하는 것이다. 본 연구는 문헌적 연구를 통한 실증적 연구를 시행하였으며, 공무원을 대상으로 은퇴준비의 하위변인인 재정·주거준비, 경제활동준비, 건강관리 등이 직무만족도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지와 노후생활인식의 매개역할을 검증하고자 했다. 이에 따라 독립변수를 은퇴준비, 종속변수를 직무만족도, 매개변수를 노후생활인식으로 각각 설정한 후, 그 하위변인을 구성하여 서로 간의 영향 관계를 분석하였다. 연구결과, 은퇴준비, 노후생활인식, 직무만족도 간의 영향관계에서 은퇴준비는 노후 생활인식과 직무만족도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히, 노후생활인식은 은 퇴준비와 직무만족도와의 영향 관계에서 매개역할을 하는 것으로 검증되었다.

Teachers’ job satisfaction is a crucial factor to determine the quality of education in that it affects their dedication and participation. While teachers’ job satisfaction in general has been widely investigated, subject-related job satisfaction has been sparsely explored. Thus, this study investiaged both general and subject-related job satisfaction and compared them. A total of 117 secondary English teachers in Seoul participated in a survey which measures job satisfaction in terms of seven factors: relationship with people, job duties, work environments, opportunities for professional development, compensations, administration systems, and recognitions. Overall, the participants showed a modest level of satisfaction in both general and subjet-related jobs. Yet, subject-related job satisfaction was higher than general job satisfaction. They were particularly satisfied with their relationship with students and teachers. They also showed high satisfaction with recognition they receive as a teacher as well as an English teacher. In contrast, they were dissatisfied with compensations and workloads in general, and the number of students in charge and administrative support in teaching English. Finally, their job satisfaction was affected by gender, school type, position, and marriage. Based on the results, suggestions to enhance secondary English teachers’ job satisfaction were made.
